Mother Grundy is an etiological myth referring to a mountain, the "Madre Grande". The myth refers to a woman who is literally "as old as the hills" who came from this mountain, clinging to the "old ways" when the original inhabitants of Mexico and California lived around the area of the mountain. These old ways became erroneously associated with grundyism, giving rise to the eponym.
Mrs Grundy is a figurative name for an extremely conventional or priggish person, a personification of the tyranny of conventional propriety. A tendency to be overly fearful of what others might think is sometimes referred to as grundyism. Mrs Grundy originated as an unseen character in Thomas Morton's 1798 play Speed the Plough. References to Mrs Grundy were eventually so well established in the public imagination that in Samuel Butler's 1872 novel Erewhon, the goddess Ydgrun, an anagram for Grundy, dictates social norms.
